MUSICIAN’S ATLAS

Review by Anne Brown

Musician’s Atlas ($49.95 – Music Resource Group) provides a fast, efficient connection to performance and promotional contacts who can put you on a selling track. The state of the economy is bringing about a reconsideration of priorities and a sharpening up of focus on local opportunities. In this regard the Atlas can assist the musician/songwriter in eliminating the middleman, bringing his work directly to the public, creating a fanbase, thus recreating a local scene. But the Atlas doesn’t limit you to a local or regional focus; listings are national in all the categories mentioned below.

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
– lists accomplished artists and bands on the move

ASSOCIATIONS
– provides contact info for associations such as BMI, ASCAP and others, who collect licensing fees and distribute royalties for copyrighted music, provide grants, scholarships, workshops and career development
seminars.

Also includes Independent Music Awards information and a submission form to enter your music for consideration. An online subscription ($39.95 activation/$9.95 monthly renewal for a single artist), which provides contact information to everyone in the book with the click of a button, is another valuable addition to boost one’s profile.
